Ways Weight Loss Surgery Has Changed My Life….

 

  • I can get on the floor and play with my grandchild.
  • I can go up and down the steps in Tiger Stadium.
  • I can have a drink during the game without fear of having to go down and come back up the stadium stairs.
  • I now can walk up and down the stairs in the hospital at LGMC.
  • I don’t have to ask for a seat belt extension on an airplane anymore.
  • I used to try on 10 things and hope one would fit, now I can try on 10 things and have to decide what 1 to buy.
  • I can dance more than one dance without having to sit down.
  • My knees don’t hurt and I haven’t taken a pill for pain since the surgery.
  • My feet don’t hurt.
  • I enjoy walking.
  • I enjoy working in the yard.
  • I mowed the grass for the first time in 8 years after surgery.
  • I enjoy people telling me I look good.

I’m amazed that people tell me, "Don’t get too skinny!!”

I ENJOY MY LIFE!!
